StarBounce
An adventure in the deep Space
…This is a message from the earthian space station Andromeda to the bounty hunter 456…
One of our mining cargo ship is wandering in the sector 7D123. They have pulled the alarm but are not responding to our calls. According to the last data, the ship seems to have suffered serious damage from unknown source.
Your job is to report the general situation of the ship, rescue any living member of our staff and if possible identify the source of the problem and eliminate it.
The cargo ship is mainly occupied by robots. They are used to collect resources too toxic for living beings. You have to make sure they are harmless because they could have been easily hacked due to their weak level of protection.
Considering the isolation of the area and our lack of information on the current situation, we ranked this mission as a « High Risk ».
You’ll receive:
1500 credits for a full report, +100 per life saved
and a bonus depending on the nature of the danger.
Good hunt.
Controls : you can change between WASD/ZQSD controls in the input window when you launch the game

Confirmed: Does not work on linux with wine :)
The background music and title screen were good though.

Controls were for AZERTY keyboard, we changed them for QWERTY. Thanks for the feedback ! :)

Nice game! Liked that the bullets bounced everywhere, made me consider for a whle wheteher I shoul shoot and get more bullet bouncing around, or just take the shot. The art style was a bit all over the place. The enemies seemed to have acompletely different art style than the main character? Overall I enjoyed it, but a more coherent art style would have made it better :)

Hey ! Fun little game, maybe the player collider was a little bit too big and the dialog were too slow. Other than that it was fun to play and to take you own bullets :). Congrats.

The idea is good, but the execution could be better.
The bullets bounce off the wall unreliably. This may be the fault of the engine, but it's still a mistake. Some bullets disappear, some bounce off in totally random directions.
I like the music, it adds a nice atmosphere to the game.
Loading times are unforgivably long. There should be no time between areas.
The text boxes appear every time and the enter button is too far away to reach mid-combat. They also don't seem to disappear normally. This is very annoying when the same map is being played for the third time.
The game is very punishing(maybe a bit too punishing).

That was a really great game ! Hard, but really cool to play and rewarding !

I came here for the ship design, I really liked it. I enjoyed the music, art and the bullet bouncing, when the enemy is shooting it gets a little confunsing but that's a good point! I had the feeling of playing a good game with a good story.

Cool art for the boss animations. :)

Something's not right about the controls. I couldn't go the direction I wanted, and kept getting stuck on the walls.

@csanyk You can modify the controls for Azerty or Qwerty keyboard in the input window when you launch the game :)

WASD doesn't work properly, arrows work fine tho. Aesthetics and graphics are really good and sound dessign too.

Music was great! Bouncing shots mechanic is cool. Graphics are somewhat uneven (different styles don't always mix up well). The most irritating thing was that shots never fly where the mouse cursor is at the moment.
After changing controls to WASD everything went smoothly, but these settings would be best made inside the game.

i don't know what's causing it, but i can't move in all directions. w, a, s, d stops working for movement. couldn't check out the level. sound design was really cool, though.
